Re: 8"

MEDIC WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR RESORTS UP THERE, I'M THINKING ABOUT TRAVELING SOMEWHERE THIS YEAR TO BOARD I DEF. WANT TO VISIT A BIG MOUNTAIN W/ LOTS OF DIF. TERRAIN ANY IDEAS. BEING STUCK IN THE MIDWEST NOT MUCH FOR BIG COUNTRY HERE.

The best would be Mt. Bachelor 6,300ft 340inches anual snowfall. @ $49 a day,..(kinda spendy), 9 to 16:00 weekdays 8 to 16:00 weekends and holidays. 10 lifts (seven express quads, three triple); 71 runs;3,683 acres accessible by lift, 1,600 acres groomed daily; superpipe and two terrain parks; slope style area; Nordic and snowshoe trails; tubing park; state-licenced day care. But stay at the Marriot in Bend thats south of town closest to Bachelor. Probally around $65 a night, they have kitchenettes', they are clean and roomy and have a pretty good continental breakfast. Plus it's right across from the Brewery/pub ! The other two would be Timberline or Mt. Hood Medows, you can check them out on the web for more info. I haven't been to them yet, only Bachelor x2 and Mt. Hood Ski Bowl x1. Timberline and Ski Bowl both have night skiing which is really cool, especially with a buzz, lol. Ski Bowl has a lil cabin halfway down that serves brew and stuff with a fireplace, really cool ! Anyway those are the best, and if you decide to come give me a holler, I got the weekends off and would love to hook up with ya and party.

Re: 8"

Hey!! Another Coastie!! Howdy.... I live on WA coast... They're expecting record snows this year in the mountains!! WooHoo!!! I might not be able to ski this year... (having knee surgery this Friday.. yuch!), but I'll get to sip spiced wine and watch!! and with the temps as low as they've been around here, we'll have snow by Thanksgiving!!

I know it bra I'm jazzed as hell, considering lastyear really sucked. Only a month or so of average conditions. Hey like I was tellin' TRAM if ya got the time lets hook up sometime and hoist a few ? BTW I had two knee surgeries and it had me laid up for awhile, still tryin' to get my left leg back to size.

Re: 8"

VERY NICE MEDIC, MT. BACHELOR SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME AS WELL AS THE TERRAIN. NORTH WEST IS WERE I WOULD LIKE TO TRAVEL TOO I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THAT AREA YET. I'LL LET YOU KNOW MY DESTINATION WHEN I DECIDE. BOARDING W/ A BUZZ IS A BLAST NOW THAT I'M GETTING OUT OF TECHNICAL RIDING, BEFORE I WOULD GET ALL SCARED BEFORE I HIT A KICKER.

This will be my 2nd as well. Had reconstructive ACL surgery on the left knee a little over 9 yrs ago. I hear yah about the size thing. My left leg is still smaller than the right. I'm just hoping that this surgery on the rt will even things up a bit!! LOL. Let me know when you guys decide to get together n I'll see if I can make it. BTW... I'm a chica...

Re: 8"

^ URNDIT & MEDIC I HAD ACL RECONSTRUCTION A FEW YEARS BACK AND I KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING ABOUT SIZE DIFFERANCE, BUT GETTING STRENGTH & SIZE BACK ISN'T TO BAD, I HAD ONE OF THE BEST P.T.'s THERE IS, YOU HAVE TO GO TO REHAB I WENT FOR 3 MONTHS BUT THATS NOT TOTALLY NESSECARY. DO WHAT YOUR DOC. RECOMENDS AND NO LESS, ONCE I GOT STABILITY BACK AND COULD HANDLE MYSELF P.T. HAD ME WARM UP BY WALKING UPHILL ON THE TREAD MILL, THEN LUNGES W/ LOW WEIGHT, THEN THE HIPFLEXOR MACHINE, AND AT THE END OF MY THEREPY I WENT ON THE ROBO MACHINE WERE THEY STRAP YOUR LEG TO IT AND SET THE WEIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO CRANK OUT HARD REPS UP AS HARD AS YOU CAN GO THEN DOWN AS HARD AS YOU CAN AWESOME WORKOUT. FOR MY COOL DOWN I HAD TO WALK BACKWARDS ON THE MILL FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINS. WHEN I LEFT THEREPY AND STARTED WORKING OUT ON MY OWN HE TOLD ME WHEN I DO LEG EXTENTIONS AND LEG CURLS TO DO THEM ONE LEG AT A TIME IT WILL STRENGTHEN YOUR LEGS DEEPER THAN IF YOU WERE TO DO THEM DUAL LEGGED. FOR THE MOST PART THATS ABOUT IT OWE AND NO RUNNING HIGH IMPACT EXERCISE WILL MAKE THE RECOVERY TAKE LONGER NOT MENTION ARTHRITIS SETS IN BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS NOT FULLY HEALED OR STRENGTHEN FOR UP TO A YEAR AND THE COMPRESSION MAY CAUSE ANOTHER BLOWOUT IF I THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE I'LL LET YOU KNOW GOOD LUCK W/ THE SURGERY THERE LESS PAINFUL AFTER THE FIRST.
